      Going through "Rich as a King" is like reading two books simultaneously. Readers will come away learning more about financial investing and championship chess at the same time. Some readers may be annoyed by the insertion of the chess metaphor. Others will welcome how the discussions of chess make what could be a dry subject entertaining. The authors never lose sight, however, of the main purpose of the book—to provide sound and applicable investing guidance. The authors provide a realistic approach to investing. There are no shortcuts or get-rich-quick schemes. Both the strategic and tactical aspects of investing are thoroughly discussed. The authors make clear the need for focus and discipline if financial goals are to be achieved. This is why the chess metaphor is appropriate. Personal commitment is necessary for becoming a championship chess player or becoming financially independent. The book provides sound financial guidance while making for interesting reading. A winning combination.
